Zoo Night

I am off to spend the night at the zoo with seventy-two fifth graders. That's right: zoo, night, fifth-graders, all in one sentence. Sounds like the beginning of a nightmare.

Or, the beginning of a novel.

The zookeepers have it all planned: nocturnal visits and predawn breakfasts. It could be fun or then again, it could just be a really bad night of sleep.

Word of the day: Prehensile: grasping, as in a monkey's tail.

Peace to all and to all a good night!
